Title

  • Great American Editors: Nan Talese in Conversation with Margaret Atwood

Summary

  • Nan Talese talks with author Margaret Atwood as part of our "Great American Editors" segment in the "Behind the Book" series. These interviews focus on leading gatekeepers in publishing who bring great works to fruition -- from the germ of an idea to the production of a physical book. Talese is one of the unsung heroes of the publishing world who transform promising but rough manuscripts into polished gems, the kind of works critics will laud and readers will relish for decades after.
